SPEGIFICATION formingpart of Letters'latent No. 259,861, dated June 20,1882.

Application tiled January 3, 1882. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.:

Be it known that I, HORACE HUNTsMAN, a citizen of the United States,residing at Sacramento, in the county ot' Sacramento and State 5 ofCalifornia, have invented a certain new and usefulImprovementinPlow-Jointers, of whichthe following is a specification, reference beinghad to the accompanying drawings, and the letters marked thereon.

1o 'Figure 1 is a front elevation of the plow showing a transversesection of the plow-beam through the dotted lines a a shown in Fig. 2.Fig. 2 is a perspective view, showing the arrangement of my improvement.Fig. 3 is an 15 enlarged section, showing the jointer cut through thedotted lines 1J p in Fig. 2.

A represents the plowbeam; B, the eyebolts; C, the bed-.plate upon whichthe jointerstandard is attached to the plow-beam D, the

zo plow-standard; E; the plow moldboard5 F, the adjustablejointer-shank; G, the jointer mold-board; J, the jointer bed-platerivets; K, the jointer set-bolts; L, the jointer-connecting bediplate; Mand N, washer-plates.

2 5 My invention relates to the arrangement and attachment ofplow-jointers, and the principal object is to provide a secure and readyadjustment to any required position. The following is the operation ofthe same:

3o The jointer-standard F, having its bearing on the bed-plate C andadjusted at the re.

quired angle against the side of the plow-beam A, and at the requiredelevation, and revolved to bring the jointer in proper line with theplow, then the eyebolts B are firmly set, hold- 3 5 in g thejointer-standard immovable. Then the jointer mold-boardis revolved uponthe jointerstandard F to bring the point ot' thejointer in line with theshin and point of the plow. It is then set fast by tightening theset-bolts K, 4o thus aiordin g every required adjustment and securingthe utmost convenience. The whole is then ready to work, and as the plowmoves forward the `iointer, cutting `from two and onehalt to fourinchesin depth, cuts .under the 4 5 roots ofthe weeds, straw, or othervegetation, throwing the same in a steady stream over into the furrow,and as the furrow is turned over it covers the same completely, as iswell known by those conversant with the use ofthe 5o plow-jointer.Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure byLetters Patent, 1s

The combination of i the crank-standard F, 55 the jointer mold-board G,the bed-plate L, rivets J, clamping-bolts K, and plate N, substantiallyas shown and described.
